Have you ever noticed how barren a room looks without a rug on
the floor and curtains on the windows? When these are put in
place, the whole interior assumes a warm, homey appearance. New-
iyweds who are buying one piece of furniture at a time, would ba
wise to take note of this for even partially tilled rooms look inviting
if the floors and windows are decorated.
SCATTER RUGS
An inexpensive way to keep
your floors attractively cov-
ered is to use several scatter
rugs in each room. Besides
being economical, they are dec-
orative and versatile. You can
shift them from room to room
according to your fancy. The
cotton scatter rugs you cro-
chet yourself have still great-
er advantages: they are es-
pecially sturdy because you
inad? them so, and easily wash-
ed because you chose a good
rug yarn. Heretofore, scatter
rugs presented a skidding
problem, but this has been
remedied in several ways:
1. by using rug anchors that
grip both rug and floor;
& by sewing-Mason jar rings at the corners; >
3. by. spraying the backs of- the rugs with plastic, non-skid
liquid.
THE POPULAR OVAL
Popular choice among women who use scatter rugs in theif
! homes, is the classic oval style. This design is gay and attractive,
1 and can be.used in almost any. room depending on your color choice.
; It- is crocheted of heavy cotton rug yarn with rounds of red puff
i stitches- worked against a background of single crochets in black
land white. Fringe finishes off-the edges. The completed rug mea-
sures 22 inches by 3?% inches without the fringe. An, easy-to-make
design, this rug can be finished in time for Springtime decorating.
Directions for THE CLASSIC OVAL RUG may be obtained by
sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope to the Needlework De-
partment ot this paper with a request for Leaflet No. 115.8.

Keeping the family supplied with clean clothes is no problem when ypu have
an Electric Dryer. You don't wait on the weather or for daylight hours of clothesline
drying. When the baby needs diapers or big brother needs clean blue jeans,
you can dry them anytime* even at night, with an Electric Dryer. You'll need to buy
fewer clothes, too, because you can launder them faster — they're ready
quicker and worn oftener. And you don't need a surplus of bed linens, towels and
la
M'j
clothing to tide you over a period of bad weather.
